I TENEMENT HOUSE DRAMA.


A drama OF coal was enacted before
my eyes the other day in front of New
York tenement house. The scarcity en-.
gendered by the recent strike had made
the black diamonds sight to stare at in
the haunLs of the poor, and there they Law
third or a half ton of them, lust
dumped on the broken flags of the side
walk. Stared DC they were. The mer.
curry was well on its way down to zero
but every window in the towering six.
story block was flung wide open, and
bareheaded women with babies in their
arms and tow heads-uGcombed, most OF
them-crowaing behind, discussed
the wonderful spectacle with
true Cherry street eloquence.
Mrs. McNOoney, us got load Of coal, -
the upper stories called down to the lower
ones. "Her boy Tim sent 1t to her from
Brooklyn" the lower windows shouted
back to The upper. Jaws dropped TO an
angle OF so or 80 degrees. Amazement
sat on the faces that peered from the
whole colony OF windows alike, and in
the midst OF the commotiOn there stood
Mrs. McNooney, queen of the occasion.
coal scuttle in hand, enjoying the triumph
Of her life. There lay her coal, there
stood all her little world envying her Its
possession. Happy Mrs. McNoOney.

tees, feel at all encouraged in their pet
project OF seeing manual framing adopted
as part OF the regular curriculum of the
public schools. Speaking on the subject
with Miss Jane z. Cattell. the associs-
toms Secretary, the other day, she
told me that lack OF success or
postponement OF success with the pub
lie school authorities was the one disap.
pointment OF the organization thus far.
New York teachers themselves are among
the advocates OF the new movement to-
ward practical education. They urge
their boys to join the Woodworking
classes, and send their girl pupils to learn
to cook and sew. The school Board itself
is slow TO move, and there are Influences
beginning TO make themselves ielt on the
other side. The Central Labor Union
pronounced against manual training the
other day, with a curious blindness To the
interests Of its own sons and daughters.
TENEMENT HOUSE MADE CLOTHING
1t is pitlable to see how early child la
Dor begins to have its market value in
the city. A good part OF the stock OF
ready-made clothing sold in New York's
tailor shops is made in the tenement
house tailoring quarter Of Brooklyn, a
district that is as distinctly marked out
as TO its metes and bounds as any section
of the city. In that region, whose char

Portland Teachers' Association.

After the above reports of the secretary,
Prof A. L. Winship OF Boston was intro
duced and delivered lecture on Building
Character" of which the following is an
abstract:
The teacher of today is to be congratu-
lated upon the breadth and intensity Of the
work Of the school. There is much to praise
in the new order Of things, but we need to
exercise great caution lest in seeking skin
and rapidity in intellectual processes we for
get to develope character.
The teacher better than any other force in
society, not excepting the home and the
church. has the privilege Of Systematically
forming the character and habits of the child.
Character is to be formed not by special In
struction. or peculiar, but by the character
of everything done. Our attention should
be directed more to the child taught than to
the subject taught him. This was anus
ingly illustrated by incidents In school life.l
The teacher Is to teach every branch with
an eye upon the child's habits. attention.
Imagination, sympathies, memory, choice,
and tendency Of belief. The school Is not to
concern itself with what a child believes
theologically, but It is to deyelope habits
Of belief which shall make whatever he be-
lieves Of real value to him.
The lecturer then gave a racy, diserimin-
ating study Of the child's mind. 1t was not
at all after the old order Of things but was a
genuine study Of real boy In the growth
and development Of mind and character,
| The early years are characterized by sense
| hunger, during which time we should feed
the senses abundantly. and after the hunger
abates the senses should be developed. Then
| follows period Of memory hunger, to be
followed by memory development. This Is
followed by an inQulsitiye hunger and de-
velopment, and this by an analytical period.
Mr. Winship made practical application at
every point to show how great the teacher 5
| opportunity to form character by knowing
| the bent and characteristic of the mind OF
the child at each stage of progress. The
special benefit of the public school when
ably taught was emphasized.
The thanks of the association were unani-
mously rendered to Mr.. Winship for his in
teresting and valuable lecture.

BASE BALL.

WILL PORTLAND HAVE CLUB IN 'SS?
The above question is one which the own
ers Of the New England league franchise in
this city are talking over among themselves,
and Is one which they have some difficulty
in answering. The season of 'S7 was a bad
one financially, and it is a question whether
the gentlemen who own the franchise will
run the risk Of another bad season next year
and organize another club to represent Port
land, or whether they will pocket the loss
and let matters end where they are now. of
course if Portland Is once dropped from the
league it will probably never be able to gain
fOothold In 1t again as managers object to
coming here on account of the expense. Still
individua Is cannot put their hands in their
pockets every year TO pay deficiency i'm or
der to give the Portland public a chance to
see the national game played at home. In
conversation with the management yester-
day regarding the situation, Press repre-
sentative was informed that no steps have
been taken yet towards organizing team
next season. 1t is question with them

WEBSTER AGAIN REVISED.
Dictionary Making In New haven-A
Place for Dude and Boycott.

NEW II AvEr, Ct, Nov. 7.-Several months
ago considerable interest was aroused in this
city by the announcement thet complete re-
vision Q Webster's Dictionary is in progress
here; ut so carefully guarded were the
names / the revisers that but little could be
learned about them or the details Of their
labors. The only information that could be
obtained was that ex-President Porter had
charge Of the enterprise, and that the work
was being carried on in the top story of the
largest building in to Rn. Admittance was
refused to the interior Of the mysterious
apartments, and the persons employed with
in were as bumb as the typical oyster when
questioned in reference to the nature of thei
employment. 1t was ascertained, however
that new dictionary was being prepared
for the publishers.
In this work DIR. Porter is assisted by a
large rps of literary authorities, who are
main Yale professors, though some of the
asso, q editors are from other colleges. In
addition to this board Of associate editors,
there are several assistants or clerks, a ma
10rity OF whom are recent Yale graduates
The revision Is carried on at the expense of
the Springfield publishers, Merriam Il Co.,
who have published the dictionary for many
years. When questioned about the revision
yesterday, DIR. Porter manifested extreme
reticenee upon the subject, and said that at
present publicity was undesirable. He, how
ever, finally said:
"The same general plan will be observed
in this revision as in the last one | have
not been compelled to devote any great
amount of time to it until recently, when the
duties have increased somewhat The gen.
orally accepted forms of spelling will be OBJ
served as far as possible, though advocates
of the advanced methods Of spelling, like
Prof. Marsh, of Lafayette College. and Prof.
Whitney, of Yale, favor the adoption of the
new forms of spelling in many words. In
general words will be Anglcized as far as
possible, though some words of Greek and
Latin derinati0n may retain their foreign
purals. As regards the disputed plural OF
the word caucus l know of but one possi-
Bile plural, namely, 'caucuses, and this form
will be used in this word and other words of
the same class. All words of recent origin
which convey distinct ideas and are recog-
nized and used by reputable authors will be
Incorporated in the revision. The word
dude delieve to convey a specific idea, ex-
pressed by no other word, and though it may
be hard to give the meaning which the word
conveys, | think it will be Incorporated in
the system. The word boycott is also a
word of definite meaning and of recent or
igin, and it will also probably be incorporat-
ed"
The new dictionary will be completed dur
ing the coming year, and will probably be
placed on sale by next July. The total cost
OF preparing it will be about $4,000.

Frauds in New York.

New YORK, Nov. THE Tribune today
says; Evidence has multiplied within the
past "a hours of the purpose Of the Demo-
cratic bosses and boodlers to make an extra
ordinary effort to carry Tuesdays election
by fraud and corruption. Investigation by
Commissioner Taintor, Inspector Williams
and by detectives employed by the citizens
committee, has brought to light over 25Oo
names Of persons believed to have been lille
gally registered Several hundred warrants
have been sworn out for service tomorrow.
This system of registration has been carried
into other cities, and the names of 120 dead
men have been found ON the registration
lists in one ward in Cohoes, while similar
frauds have been discovered in Albany and
Troy. The notorious frauds in other years
in Troy, where the chairman of the Demo-
cratic committee is the boss" and in Alba
ny, under the nose of Gov Hill, and the OBJ
stacles that Democratic officials have placed
in the way of prosecuting persons indicted
for such frauds, make it doubly important
for good citizens to be watchful tomorrow"
